Sommigen beweren dat hij stierf van de kou, anderen dat hij omkwam van de honger en nog anderen zeggen dat de homo sapiens hem uitroeide. Maar hoe kwam de neanderthaler nu écht aan zijn einde? In dit boek gaan paleoantropologe Silvana Condemi en wetenschapsjournalist François Savatier op zoek naar het antwoord dat al decennialang wetenschappers en historici in de ban houdt. Hun boek, ondertussen in vijfentwintig talen vertaald, leest als een whodunit. Hoofdstuk na hoofdstuk volgen ze diverse sporen, sluiten pistes uit en boren er andere aan om zo een eeuwenoude puzzel te reconstrueren. Te midden dat minutieuze speurwerk strooien ze kwistig verhalen rond over de solidariteit die ervoor zorgde dat de neanderthaler het twintigduizend generaties uithield, over overleven in ijstijden en het eten van mensenvlees, maar ook … over de vermenging van de neanderthaler met de homo sapiens en de daaruit volgende genetische band tussen ‘ons’ en ‘hem’. Populaire wetenschap van de bovenste plank. Rijkelijk geïllustreerd.

The final publication of results of the excavations at Pontnewydd cave in north-east Wales has been eagerly awaited. The site was investigated as part of the Palaeolithic Settlement of Wales Research Programme, which has been responsible for transforming understanding of the nature of human settlement on the very margins of Eurasia by early Neanderthals. The caves of the Elwy valley in north-east Wales contain evidence of the earliest human occupation of Wales. This monograph documents the results of 20 years of field research. It describes the traces of occupation left around 225,000 years.

Since the late 1980s the dominant theory of human origins has been that a 'cognitive revolution' (C.50,000 years ago) led to the advent of our species, Homo sapiens. As a result of this revolution our species spread and eventually replaced all existing archaic Homo species, ultimately leading to the superiority of modern humans.Or so we thought.As Clive Finlayson explains, the latest advances in genetics prove that there was significant interbreeding between Modern Humans and the Neanderthals. All non-Africans today carry some Neanderthal genes. We have also discovered aspects of Neanderthal behaviour that indicate that they were not cognitively inferior to modern humans, as we once thought, and in fact had their own rituals and art. Finlayson, who is at the forefront of this research, recounts the discoveries of his team, providing evidence that Neanderthals caught birds of prey, and used their feathers for symbolic purposes. There is also evidence that Neanderthals practised other forms of art, as the recently discovered engravings in Gorham's Cave Gibraltar indicate.Linking all the recent evidence, The Smart Neanderthal casts a new light on the Neanderthals and the "Cognitive Revolution". Finlayson argues that there was no revolution and, instead, modern behaviour arose gradually and independently among different populations of Modern Humans and Neanderthals. Some practices were even adopted by Modern Humans from the Neanderthals. Finlayson overturns classic narratives of human origins, and raises important questions about who we really are.
